I finally got a Seagate @ Best Buy, that's where my gift certificate
was.  160 gig for $109.  Haven't installed it yet.  I need a windoze OS
for my insulin pump.  I can download the pump info and edit the onboard
settings on the pump with it.  Also, e-mail download info to doc.
Haven't made up my mind whether to get an XP upgrade or just run my old
98 and try to keep it clean (ha ha-- just a figger of speech).
